Tarot Cards are among the more daring Cursed Possessions you can encounter in *Phasmophobia*. Their effects can be incredibly powerful, but they come with a high level of risk. If you stumble upon a deck during your contract, it's wise to use them in a secure spot on the map, such as near a hiding place or the entrance. This precaution is crucial, especially if you draw a perilous card like Death, as it increases your chances of escape.

Each Tarot Card has a unique ability that activates instantly upon use. However, you might draw The Fool, which mimics another card before revealing itself and having no effect. You can draw up to 10 cards from the deck, and doing so won't affect your sanity. Duplicates are possible, and each duplicate will trigger the same effect as its original.

Here's a rundown of the 10 different cards you might encounter:

Tarot CardEffectDraw Chance
The TowerDoubles ghost activity for 20 seconds20%
The Wheel of FortuneThe user gains 25% sanity if the card burns green; loses 25% sanity if the card burns red20%

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

In *Phasmophobia*, Cursed Possessions, often referred to as "Cursed Objects," are special items that appear randomly across various contract maps, influenced by difficulty settings or Challenge Mode. Unlike your standard equipment, which helps you safely gather evidence of ghostly activity, Cursed Objects serve as risky shortcuts to manipulate the ghost, offering potential benefits at a high cost to your character's safety.

The decision to use these items lies with you and your team, and there are no penalties for choosing not to engage with them. However, using them doesn't grant any additional rewards. Each contract features one Cursed Possession, unless modified in Custom settings, and each type consistently spawns in the same designated location. For instance, the Voodoo Doll is always found in the Garage at 6 Tanglewood Drive.

There are seven types of Cursed Objects available in the game:

  • Haunted Mirror
  • Voodoo Doll
  • Music Box
  • Tarot Cards
  • Ouija Board
  • Monkey Paw
  • Summoning Circle
